Did you watch Bradleys review? You don't mention the motion sickness he experienced...
@@LarsAgerbk in some cases motion sickness can be caused by the maximum brightness of the headset, if I'm not mistaken that's what it was for him. This can be easily fixed in the settings! Surprisingly, I did quite well with max brightness, really enjoy those popping colors
Only downside so far has been the wait for more games. Not complaining. It’s launch line was fantastic. I remember when ps2 released with only a small handful of games at launch
Hey, it's great that you're enjoying the headset so much that other cons are not a big deal for you! Glad you're happy with your purchase. If few games is your only downside, then I'm sure more will come with time, and you'll enjoy your PSVR2 even more ;)
@@DiscoVRTetiana I’m stuck at home due to a medical condition, so VR is my only way out
This post is correct, and more or less most of the points in the video are correct. Every con in my opinion after 300 hours in it is either fixable with attachments like the head straps (which are a must buy with the weights on the back, and the vr rock lenses, as well as the infrared lights) or software side. The hardware is good. There is a learning curve figuring out where the "sweet spot" is, but once you figure it out, the blurryness goes away. The issue is when games don't have foveated rendering in use ex: no mans sky, or when games have lag induced or code error causing screen tear ex: after the fall. Both can be nauseating. For those saying price is too expensive. Ok how much yall spend on the steering wheel for gta7, how much you spend on your gaming headphones, how much you spend on your scuff controllers, or your Nike shoes for that matter. What you spend on your apple watch. How much did your tv cost? Cause since i got the vr2 i dont even use my tv except when watching movie with someone. Games are almost at the 100$ mark by themselves in most cases for flat screeners and most of yall got at least 2 pre ordered. Stop acting like 500$ is breaking your bank for what you get. pc quality vr is when you draw the "it's too expensive as an peripherial" line? Pc vr users don't need to weigh in on psvr2, you can't compare it to something that your 2k$-5k pc runs. To all the youtube videos saying sales are bad. if sales were bad 40 different companies wouldn't be still sinking money into releasing 90 plus titles on this platform later this year. You know why there are way more videos about how bad psvr2 is or how it's failing? Cause those of us that only had a ps5 to game on aren't making videos, we just playing, which was the audience it was designed for in the first place. If I had more time I'd be programming a survival game and a moba for this platform because it's a good platform and once you go vr, it's hard to go back to flatscreen and you only do if there is nothing happening in the vr world and you've beat everything too many times.
The ps2 literally had 40 games that weren't ports.
@@Phantom-kc9ly On release? There were only 29 games at release
Great video!!
MY biggest problem with the PSVR2 is the lack of physical copy games. The PS VR had a lot of physical copy games. So everyone into the physical copy movement is not being provided for by Sony.
The VR2 launch has been incredible! Quality games (I have 10), ease of use, and overall experience is a 9.5 for me. The battery life of the controllers could be better but after 3/4 hours it’s time for a break anyway - but a great time to get on GT7 with the dual sense while the vr controllers charge (at least they charge fast). Loving it! Don’t want to play flat games anymore.
🪐 if you can pick up a wheel for GT7. Easily one of the best VR experiences I’ve ever had.
I was using quest 2 with PCVR for last 2 years. Before that I was using PSVR1. Two weeks ago I have bought PSVR 2 and I must say that I am not impressed. I do not like headstrap cause it is sliding down on my nose pressing it and mąkę it hurt. Battery in controllers is crap. I have to charge controllers every 2h, with Quest 2 controllers I do not change AA acumukators for one week before they drain out. Mura effect makes screen unclear and OLED is really dark compared to LCD in Quest 2. And library of games. 90% of titles I already have on quest/PCVR. And ones that are created specially for PSVR are just too expensive and you can buy them only in PSStore because most of psvr games were released only on digital version compared to psvr1 titles. Only thing I like is headset vibrations I do not even use haptic triggers cause I do not want to drain battery to quick. Overall I really regret that I have bought PSVR. And I bought it used for almost 1/2 of price. For me right now thare are only 2 titles worth playing resi 8 VR, and GT7 VR cause I can buy these games used on disc. Horizon for 70$ 😂 dear $ony are u mad?
What games do you recommend I purchase? I got vr2 last week!
Quality games.....if your bar for "quality" is VERY low lol
Wonderful job Tatiana 👍🏼
I agree with the pros and cons. I thought originally it was too expensive, especially with my first VR headset. I then realized after watching content like yours that it’s actually not that bad.
Loving it and I’m excited for more games, looking forward to more AAA Sony exclusives, hoping more get announced soon. Cheers
Nice review , havent put my Vr2 down since Launch day. Way better than the first Vr headset and so immersive.
Great breakdown of the pros and cons. Overall I like the PS VR2 but i think it's important people understand the cons before getting one.
Absolutely!
I’ve been using my PSVR2 with glasses almost every day for the past 2.5 months and never had to recalibrate eye tracking. However, the prescription lens inserts are a great recommendation to prevent scratches, especially if you play active games like Pistol Whip. I have not scratched my lenses yet but I’ll order a pair soon just in case.
Sweet spot is small but takes me only about 5 seconds to find now. From turning on the console I’m inside a game in about 1 minute.
Good pros/cons discussion overall! I’m very happy with this headset and the launch lineup.
Yeah once you have spent a few hours with the headset, it becomes second nature. But I would say this headset has a higher learning curve than others. It’s TOTALLY worth it though. Now I feel odd gaming flat on ps5 without it on.
Such an in-depth review. Thanks for the strap advice, it makes wonders.
Thanks for the nice comparison list! One slight note: mura is not an effect of the fresnel lenses but of the oled panels themselves (and unfortunately the mura on PSVR2 is quite noticable… also there’s a persistence problem due to the hdr but this can be solved by lowering the brightness).
While we are waiting in new games can we please get upgrades for PSVR1 games, specifically Blood and Truth and Star Wars Squadrons
All the reviewers mostly say you’ll have a crystal clear image at 4K HDR. It’s just not true. The image looks blurry almost like you need glasses but I wear contacts. And while moving your head around quickly, ghosting effects are very noticeable. Managing expectations is important before purchasing this. I’m a bit let down by the image quality but blown away by the immersion. VR just isn’t there yet. It’s close but still
Needs works.
Thank You Very much for this good Tips..Now I can Enjoy My PS VR2 more comfortable 👍
Brilliant review. thank you very much. You've convinced me to buy one.
Best tech I have purchased in many years. My only real downside is the lenses scratch easily with glasses. Make sure you get prescription lenses/protectors day 1. Mine is scuffed to hell, but luckily it’s not massively noticeable when playing but enough to annoy me at times.
I bought spacers because i wear glasses and they seem to help enough until i get prescription lenses.
Good review ! Enjoyed it a lot 👍🏻
Very thoughtful breakdown. I love mine, and to echo many here, just waiting for more games :)
Thank you so much for all the useful info! Only rendering sharply what the eye can see is surely such a cost-saving feature for GPUs! I really feel like buying a new headset one day that can replace my HP Reverb G2 and provide features like this.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed the video :) Yes, eye tracking is a pretty revolutionary feature in VR that allows so many cool possibilities. Let's hope that this is just the start!
wow, this video was surprisingly detailed and in-depth; thanks!
Why surprisingly? That’s the quality of all my videos 😎😜
@@DiscoVRTetiana Love it! I wish all videos on RUclips were like that!
I use exactly the same top strap with my PSVR2. I took it from my HP Reverb G2, which doesn't need it nearly as much. Comfort is much better and have fewer problem with drifting out of the teeny tiny sweet spot.
Ive has my psvr2 for 2 months and I absolutely love it! Its my first VR headset as well. Im addicted, ive only been buying VR games lately. I own switchback VR, Barbaria, horizon call of mountain, resident evil 4 remake VR and resident evil 8 VR, star wars tales of galaxy enhanced edition, dive nights at freddies help wanted, gran turismo. 7, no mans sky, Zenith last city, cosmonious high, blinkk and the vacuum of space, walking dead saints and sinners part 1 and 2, red matter, cosmodread, ancient dungeon, Pavlov and Vertigo 2!!! I love all these games on my psvr2, so fun!
Next week my gunstock by kobraVR the vader one ships out which will improve my accuracy for fps games and increase immersion, i also plan on buying breachers, d day enhanced edition and dead hook next week
I have to admit, i dont care that much about the sweetspot anymore - its a matter of time till a user learns how to wear the headset correctly. So this problem will fade when time passes by, but i see the point that it is very challenging for a beginner and annoying at first.
What i dont like:
*1. The huge purple dot as a result of reflecting highcontrast scenes that can apear in the lower field of view.*
Never seen any reviewer mentioning or showing this lenseflare (or at least it reminds me off it). But its on every VR-Headset. On every single sample. May be this is common for fresnell lenses (i have no idea), but as a PSVR1-User you will be very concerned seeing this visual extra for the first time.
*2. Exzessive provocation of mura by some developers, which is unecessary.*
In Kayak Mirage at nighttime you see a lot of mura, because the absolute brightness used by the software is very very low. You can play with the ingame exposureslider (which will not increase or decrease the physical power of brightness of the display as the PSVR2 option does). Already +1 redcuces mura in large measure and the night scene still looks like night. For a short time you will notice the difference, but human eyes are very adaptive. So mura is a flaw of the technique, but how much it will annoy users is the responsiblity of the developers.
*3. Developers, who fail to use PSVR2s greatest performancefeature: eyetracking with foveated rendering*
We have all seen games looking awesome and the foveated rendering with eyetracking adds to the performance of the PS5. Sure it depends on the title, but there are reasonable numbers around ( in the web, how much this feature can boost the graphics. However there are a lot of devs, that just dont care or do not have the knowledge how to do it right. Sometimes their game still looks fine ( but could still look better) or you get a blurry mess instead, which reminds you more of the average lastgen PSVR1-titles. I hope these occurrences decrease in the future and the knowledge on how to unleash the full potential of the PSVR2 will become more common.
*4. About the price / inflation:*
A lot of reviewers defend or pick at the pricetag of the PSVR2. I think its great value, but the problem is of course it is still too expensive for the average gamer - as the PS5 is aswell. But PS5 has already been a hyped and popular piece of hardware, so people will try to get one anyway and the higher price does not impact its sucess that much in comparision. However regarding the VR2: It does not mean anything to the average consumer, if you pull out a calculator to explain, why the PSVR2 is NOT more expensive then lastgen (because of inflation). People will have less money available during inflation and therefore their individual resources to get a PSVR2 are more limited. Does not matter if its adjusted for inflation or not. Too much is simply too much. Of course, inflation is not Sonys invention and therefore not their fault. It is just as it is at the moment - not the best time to invest in entertainment/hardware.
*The argument, that PSVR2 should be compatible with steam....*
Who ever said anything about Meta, Pico, Pimaxx, HTC, Valve, HP that their headsets are not useable on PS4/PS5 ;) ?
Nobody...in my eyes, this argmuent is simply without any substance. It is a wish for a great & cheap PCVR-headset for an ecosystem that Sony would not earn anything from.
Sure, you can have those wishes....but please be realistic at this point: It wont happen, and nobody really should expect it neither is it a surprise, nor an broken promise by Sony.
But somehow i see this comming up in every 2nd review....please just think about it for a brief moment. It does not make much sense at the moment to point the finger at Sony for its PSVR2-PS5-exclusivity.
Those are my thoughts about the negatives. Thx for the video you made some good points there. Both thumbs up for it.
This was very helpful. It is unlikely I was going to buy a PS VR 2 as I am too heavily invested in Meta and Steam at this point, but I had some serious HMD envy going on. While I don't see any of the cons as show stoppers, some of them do make me appreciate my Quest 2 more. The Quest 2 is looking old at this point but the ease of putting it on and off, the power of the bobovr battery, the long controller battery life, the builtin speakers, and not needing to tether just removes so many friction points. I grab it and my controllers off the wall, slap a battery on, and I am off to VR land.
Those are great points, PSVR2 is not for everyone and definitely not a substitute for Quest 2. They are in different leagues, so to say!
eh youre not missing much. most the games on it except 1 or 2 are basically carnival games and just tech demos. If you have a VERY VERY low bar for quality gaming then you might like it, otherwise its just a tech demo with carnival wack-a-mole type experiences (res evil village and maybe the racing game if you have a wheel etc. lol no thanks).
That's a fair review, I think the PSVR2 is really the only way to experience PCVR quality games at a much more affordable price, when you consider that you can buy a PS5 for $399 or less, what sort of PC could you buy for that sort of money? Meta headsets just cannot compete unless you plug them into an expensive PC and the Quest 3 will be the same, the image quality of the PSVR2 is fantastic and will get even better as the developers get to grips with the new tech, Resident Evil Village and GT7 are worth buying the PSVR2 for and both of those games got the free VR update, so Sony are not just trying to rip people off, I am looking forward to what comes next for the PSVR2.
Its because Sony paid for those. Oddly just how they paid for the same two franchises on psvr 1. Let's hope they don't just pay for just two vr integrations only like they did for psvr 1. After those two Sony didn't pay for anything else on psvr 1
@@Vr_Demon_ GT 7 is a Sony Franchise
@@Vr_Demon_ I had the PSVR1 in 2016 it was actually great for its time and the only way to experience Resident Evil 7, but I think it was just an experiment in 2016 to see what could be done with a pretty under powered console for VR.
The fact that the VR2 store is now beginning to fill up with games and Resident Evil 4 is getting its own full VR mode means that Sony are pretty serious this time around and that can only be good for VR gaming because nobody else is going to do it.
Valve only gave us Half Life Alyx and Oculus, only Lone Echo 1 & 2 in the last 3 years, Sony have the means to make a difference so its up to them.
@@techinfusions Sorry but the pcvr mods are killing psvr 2. Sony has only sold 300,000 units. Its makes zero sense for a AAA dev to make not even a quarter of their money back what they can make on a AAA flat game which is 10 times more. Its just not gonna happen. Also re4 isn't going to be full vr on psvr 2. Once the injector mod releases thats gonna be another 200 AAA games added to the pcvr list and they've already been tested and work.
@@techinfusions psvr 1 was good for its time but God damn the last 2 years of its life was the worst game release of any hardware
37k subs! Hope the blessings continue
THANKS for the ir lights tho!!! I always hate playing in the bright rooms
I just got my headset and the biggest roadblock for me is getting over the motion sickness. Just need to use it regularly and have frequent breaks whenever I get too hot and uncomfortable. Hopefully I can get more playtime on it compared to the original PSVR.
Also try reducing the display brightness! For many people it also helps with motion sickness in psvr2
Psvr 2 is absolutely amazing im loving mine 😊😊😊❤
Helpful PSVR2 video, thank you. I'm waiting for a PSVR2 price drop and more games, but have PSVR1.
I feel bad for the people that can’t experience VR it’s so much different then looking in some 2D Screen on a RUclips Video …. It’s …. It’s vr 😇✨✨
The third party devaso strap is the best one to get. Makes a huge difference. Then upgrade to the pulse explore earbuds and this is the best vr set up for comfort.
To maintain rapid display response you need it to be cable not WiFi. Wireless has to waste time transmitting and receiving before processing all info but cable is present just as your TV is. It also can't be so light wireless as a massive battery is required so comfort wouldn't be as good, just get a cable suspension kit to hold the cable above you instead of around your feet they work great.
Hello DiscoVRTetiana something I noticed with the PSVR2 controllers while using them is that they get noticeably warm to the point where my skin gets warm after about 10 or 15 min’s and begins to feel uncomfortable as a direct result so I’m concerned if its really a good idea for me to be using this or not, I read about the skin irritation warning in the instruction manual about this but do you have any tips or suggestions on how to deal with this based on your own experience? Would really appreciate your feedback and hope this all makes sense. I’m brand new to VR and at first was unsure about using it because of all the health warnings and potential risks involved but I’ve always wanted to try VR for years ever since the first PSVR came out lol quite an amazing jaw dropping experience overall. 🤩
Well done! But I’m still anxious awaiting on your Pimax crystal review 😀
I've been working on it these days, it's taking a bit longer due to some technical complications with the device, but it's coming!!
@@DiscoVRTetiana looking forward to it as well!
@@DiscoVRTetiana can’t wait 😀
Hey Tatiana.
Try getting yourself the PS5 3D Pulse headset. It fits the curves of the PSVR2 perfectly, and it comes with buttons to control soundlevels, it comes with dual microphones, and a button where you can change the levels game vs chat volume. And much more comfortable than what your current headset looks to be (I realize that you made this video some time ago, so you might've upgraded since) but that's my two cents.
Thanks for an informative video.
11:10. I have a Samsung 55” curved screen. I finally figured out how to make sure it doesn’t turn on when a hdmi connected device turns on. So last night I was deep in a game of poker stars. Then felt a knock on my shoulder. Took the headset off, and my elderly mother who lives in an in law apartment was standing there asking if I was ok because I was talking to myself 😂😂. Gotta love the elderly lol. Ps. That cost me a VERY expensive hand 😢
My TV does that as well and if I turn off my TV the ps5 will go in rest mode 💀
Good feedback 👍
If xbox ever grows a pair, they should make their vr system a master chief helmet
They never will. They said vr was a dead niche
Well, so far, i've used my glasses with every v r system i've used and I haven't had any issues but I might look into those lenses anyways
You have studied the glasses well, I share your opinion 100%. Despite my experience, I find your tips valuable again and again, since you really take the perspective of the beginners in VR, I sometimes forget that with my impressions. I'm looking forward to your Crystal impression!
Thanks vriend! Being so deep in the VR industry it is important to take a step back once in a while and offer a beginners' perspective, after all my mission is to get as many people interested in VR as possible! Thanks so much for your support as always 💜
Aside from GT7, I have been using PSVR2 in cinematic mode frequenty playing non VR games. Loving the experience so far, only wish is that the sweet spot is larger. corner sharpness isn't great
Can you play non VR games in VR? How it feels like
@@Seramics
Yes you can. It feels like you're in a movie theater.
My only downside was really Mura, somehow my eyes cannot ignore it no matter how much i tried..
I love Horizon - all versions - but I have to admit, despite the obviously superior graphics - Call of the Mountain didn’t suck me in the way FarPoint did on the PSVR1. Right now the PSVR2 is sorely lacking in a full featured sci-fi shooter. I’m looking forward to FarPoint2 (FP1 was an interesting cliffhanger) and Ace Combat 8 VR.
Oh - here’s a good tip for Call of the Mountain - DO NOT use auto-rotate when climbing. That was the worst experience of my life in VR. 🤢
Software wise - Sony should create profile-creator for PS VR2 settings for other home members, so I don't have to do all the adjustments everytime after someone been playing.
THIS
What is so difficult about starting your PSVR2 for the first time... my 9yr old daughter got it straight away it's that easy.
Psvr2 is incredible.
Again a perfect video.
How many of those IR lights do I need??
I have a PSVR1 and loved it, it finally brought a viable vr experience to console gamers. I bought it later when prices dropped. Recently I picked up a Meta quest 2. A far superior experience in my opinion. Q2 is its own hardware,independent, versatile enough. I don't know why Sony didn't go that route. Instead they are asking a horrific 700$ for just vr goggles that are still slaved and tethered to a console. Wtf costs 700$?!! Q2 is just over half that price and is good for on the go......I will get psvr2 eventually when the price finally drops to a more sane ,realistic level..
I got mine on launch day and literally paid 200$ less. For the features it’s actually a great value.
Where the hell are you getting those prices from?
If you’re talking about the psvr 2, it’s $550. Unless the 1st one was that price and you’re referring to that
And they didn’t go that route because they wanted it to be a high fidelity headset, stand-alone just won’t offer the same experience as a tethered one
So I'm here 6 months after this video was made trying to decide if I should get a PSVR2 to go with my PS5 or trade my PS5 in for something else... Wish I knew what to do... Would love to play all the fallout games and all the GTA games on VR along with Skyrim... Those are my faves...
I’m waiting for my device. I just wanna play Nms in Vr.
I'm currently waiting for my vr2 with horizon game to arrive by amazon orders yesterday black Fri deal £549.99. But bit oi#@#it doesn't come with a stand , so got a charge dock stand coming along another 39,99£ damn best be worth it, oh and got gran turismo 7 coming got 10£off that in blk Fri offer so a steal just watching vr2 videos why I'm waiting for Myne and what a great informative, infact the stand charge doc with led is the exact 1 I ordered in a deal also so be like a kid at Xmas soon, haha and a tired guy come Monday morning ready for work, or not ready 💯
The screen door and reprojection is what made me sell mine after 3 days. I even bought the ps5 at the same time JUST for it 😔 back to quest 2 and pcvr now 🤘 but kept the PS5 still 😁
Pc guys are gonna notice the reprojection the most. The mura is there but it’s really not that bad. Reprojection sucks but that’s up to devs to find the best sweet spot
You must be talking about PSVR the PSVR2 has no screen door effect 😊
@Thegooob95 I haven't even really needed a "sweet spot" the picture quality is pretty clear and the VR2 is definitely next generation VR
@@mrreefer6792maybe its not the correct word for it but its there, watch Thrillseekers honest review, he calls it screen grain (or mura) either way as soon as you see it (and i seen it straight away) you dont un see it.
@@Thegooob95 agree. Of the devs can find away not to have to use the reprojection then id probably give it another go but for now ill happily use the quest 2, not have as much FOV and have no grainy filter on it. (When you in a game you forget about the FOV anyway, especially darker games)
to be honest, the biggest downside to PSVR2 (except not being able to utilize it on PCs) is the lack of built-in audio. I have the HP Reverb G2, and it uses the same audio system as the Index... FANTASTIC quality speakers hovering over your ears without touching them. It is SUCH A big deal for immersive gameplay, and today, I find it difficult to get excited about a new headset without built-in audio, or poor built-in audio. The Index sound system is such a game changer, both in terms of immersiveness as well as convenience.
I'm kind of torn on PSVR2. It's been both incredible(Resident Evil: Village & Moss: Book 2 say hi) but also cumbersome and frustrating. Sony dropped the ball by using Fresnel lenses due to the janky tiny finicky sweet spot, plus I don't think it was a smart idea increasing the FOV to 110d from the PSVR1's 100 seeing as how 2000x2040 per eye still isn't good enough in VR.
Not only that, but it's OLED display suffers from Mura which produces this funky grainy mesh aesthetic to the overall the image. And i'm nearly over being tethered to a cable. Since it's always constantly brushing against my neck, and hitting my legs and feet. It's such a barrier and it breaks immersion and can make VR feel straight up sloppy. Plus, the headset is pretty front-heavy and hurts the nose. :P
At least with Quest 3, aside from being wireless and rocking Ring-less VR controllers, there won't be any OLED mura, the resolution is higher per eye(2064x2208), the FOV is around 10d lower than PSVR2's which in return will make the picture even clearer, and it's using pancaking lenses for a wide sweet spot. All of the above will produce a noticeably sharper and cleaner picture, and you're getting much batter image stability thanks to the pancakes. The Ring-less controllers, along with the flat front visor which just will no doubt make it that much more alluring and attractive for most people are great upgrades too.
My only real concern with Quest 3 are the black levels, since it's using a basic LCD display. Would of been rad if Meta released a Pro model along side it, with an LCD(or LED) using a Quantum Dot Layer/or local dimming for deep inky blacks, while including Eye tracking & FR to conserve and use more power. A Q3 paired with an RTX4090(I so need one of those.lol) should be pretty crazy, putting aside those weaker black levels. Either way, still gonna hold to my PSVR2. Where else am i gonna play Resident Evil: Village, RE4: VR Mode, future Astro Bot sequel and whatever else.
Hey Tetiana, just watched your last appearance on the Next Dimension and wanted to comment about your experience with the Pimax controllers with Aircar... I don't have a Pimax, but even my Valve Index controllers weren't completely compatible with Aircar, certain functions won't work. Aircar really wants you to use an Xbox controller for full functionality.
Only problem I have is it's like looking through goggles like you can see the black part around the eyes the border areas
Brilliant machine no problems at all
"Sweet spot" is a bit confusing. I've seen it refer to two things: (a) the amount of fiddling you have to do to get the headset adjusted on your face, and (b) the size of the clearest central part of the FOV. So does "small sweet spot" mean "lots of fiddling but then it's fine", or "no matter what you do, peripheral vision will be blurry"?
In a way, both can be correct, because they're connected. Sweet spot is the area in the lens in front of your eyes where the image appears to be the most clear, sharp, and in focus, while the edges of the field of view are less clear and may be blurry or distorted. A "small sweet spot" would mean that the clear and sharp area in the center of the field of view is relatively small, so it's harder to get the headset adjusted perfectly to find it. A large sweet spot is more forgiving in terms of headset adjustments. Some VR headset make the image look pretty sharp even if the headset is not positioned 100% correctly on your head, even though it still depends on your individual characteristics like IPD
@@DiscoVRTetiana I did a bit more reading and it seems a good definition is that sweet spot relates to how sensitive focus is to eyeball positioning. This affects BOTH headset positioning and eye movements (saccades). So for a headset with a small sweet spot, it is harder to position the headset correctly, and there is a loss of clarity at edge of FOV. I think this agrees with what you wrote. Thanks!
@@johnl.7582 yeah that sounds right! There's a lot of terminology and concepts related to VR that can be misinterpreted or confusing. I try to go over them in my videos whenever I can. I appreciated your question!
If by any chance you'd also like to learn more about the differences between different VR lenses (fresnel, pancake, aspheric etc...) and displays (OLED, QLED, mini LCS etc) I made a separate vid just about them since I used to get sooo many Qs about those, and many content creators just through those words and acronyms around that alienate many users. In case you're interested! - ruclips.net/video/3iJ8bSFX6bA/видео.html
Great video. One thing you forgot is the PS5 also comes in a $400 model known as the PS5 Digital.
PS5 Digital = $400
PSVR2 = $550
Total = $950
PS4 = $400
PSVR1 = $560
Total = $960
Yep and that’s also cheaper than pc vr because you need a powerful pc to run most vr games so for pc vr it’s gonna look like this
Pc = $800
Vr = $600
Total = $1400
The biggest con for me is playing with mura. The screen-like effect was a big downside for me when playing psvr 1. I wished they would have at least tried to make a better picture but they failed... again.
The PlayStation 3d plus headphones work perfectly and fit great on the head with PSVR2. Maybe it's just me.
The same here
Same here
should only clean the lenses if its effecting your vision, else over cleaning will lead to scratches. Into astronomy and the rule of thumb is leave your lens and clean as rarely as possible. Its also strange its recommended to clean with only a micro fiber cloth. Eye glasses its always recommended to use a liquid first else cleaning dry will lead to scratches
Thanks my angel :)
my only problem is the controllers are to small for my big hands
Waiting you for resident evil 8 with VR
I've been following this headset really closely and I have not heard. One person complain about godrays or screen door effect. There is mura though
As long you can not play regular games with it those VR will not find the average playerbase.
I know its a hard developing behind but at this stage we talk about Playstation so this should be possible.
I watched flat videos developed into full VR from customs for 5 years already so in today this should be fixed
My PSVR2 picture quality is pretty clear without trying for a sweet spot definitely next generation shit
I was happy when it came but had a hard crash when theirs absolutely no good games to play. Also it can never sit flush on your head and it's blurry
I don't even need glasses but think that's an awesome solution for the gamers that do.
Having recently used the headset my only real problem with it is the face interface thingy, it looks fine and rubbery but at best it only blocks light and makes the headset "droop"
I honestly don't know what you mean by that I dont even notice it's there just makes it pitch black , you sure your wearing it correctly ?
oh interesting! I thought this facial interface was much better than in many other headsets. Anything that has to do with a VR fit & comfort is so subjective and different for each individual user.
I've had the psvr2 for a couple of weeks now. Enjoying it. They definitely need to add some dancing games like dance central! (on oculus) and i'd love to see rec room and some more social vr options. It's really comfortable and clear headset and I'm happy with it overall. I did your trick of buying a second hand cheap copy of no man's sky, so thanks for the tip. I hope that more vr titles get added to ps plus and they add support for the older psvr titles. Looking forward to new titles coming out over the next months too 🎮🥽
The thumbnail makes it look like you could possibly turn into a zombie haha
(cant tell if its makeup or just photoshop/effects stuff)
haha no it's not makeup 🤣 I'm not THAT invested in the thumbnail game! The pictures were taken 1 sec apart!
why are we still saying the PSVR2 requires a $500 ps5? you don't have to get the disc version
To be honest all the new functionality is great compared to my current psvr but the fact I would still be tethered is a deal breaker for me.
Praying they bring superhot to psvr2
It needs more AAA racing games. Cmon Codemasters what are you waiting for… give us dirt rally or WRC in VR… PLEASE
It is the most comfortable headset. I play hours and hours of GT7 and No Man's Sky without having any discomfort. It is 10x better than my Quest 2 even though Quest 2 is so-called wireless. Quest 2 is painful to wear because it is imbalanced and seriously underpadded.
What head strap are you using with your quest? Please tell me you’re not using the soft strap that came in the box!
@@DiscoVRTetiana I bought my Quest 2 in Nov 2020 because I couldn't get my PS5. I didn't buy any head strap for it cause I knew PSVR 2 was coming. LOL I only have 6 games on my Quest 2 and I am ready to trash it.
I baught hundreds of games on psvr 😢😢 some I really love and wish would come over to vr 2 games is definitely psvr2 s biggest flaw
RUclips can you stop recommending this video on searches that are gaming related
If it's a bad review send it please before I get mine cuz I pre-ordered it and I'm talking about the pimax Crystal. All the hassle you're having.
Let's be honest here. I just bought the headset off a teenager who really disliked it for some reason and never had any other headset. He sold it to me for $350 and its like new condition with Call of the Mountains. I had played that RE8 and GT7. They are the best for the headset and I been a fan of OLED since the Samsung Odyssey. I thought it was kind of cool at first with the eye rendering and higher resolution. I have not been hyped for it as much as I am hyped for the Quest 3 even without OLED. I told myself I wouldn't get another LCD headset but something about the PSVR2 feels off. Maybe it's because of the mura or the reprojection. It makes me think maybe the headset was meant for the PS5 Pro and it came out early so people can still use it with the base PS5. That's what I am hoping snd will wait until the Pro before getting more games. I told the teen who sold it to me so cheap to check out the Quest 2 or 3.
Tatiana did you look at the other reviews of people who recently got their heads that they don't seem to have the problems maybe they can help. They seem to think that the headset works great even on different games. They only had a few problems they were concerned about. I saw you one next dimension
PSVR1 actually had the best lenses
Why do you say that? Does PSVR1 use pancake lenses?
Psvr1 had clear lenses. PSVR 2 cannot use pancake lenses with Oled as they reduce brightness abd not bright enough for HDR
I haven't had any of the mentioned problems
well that's awesome, means you're perfectly happy with your purchase and are enjoying the world of VR!
Don’t forget games for 2024. PSVR2 is looking good after Help Wanted 2
I used to have tracking issues unit I started you the tracking setting in the ps5 settings which will make the image on the smaller on the to and it shows something that the headset can track to give you better tracking and it works for me and the PlayStation VR 2 price is the same if not cheaper than buying a PlayStation vr and a separate camera and 2 move controllers
Biggest cons about psvr2 is the psvr game compatibility. I own psvr and games, but it does not compatible with this new psvr2 which they kinda advertised it does(maybe I'm wrong).
Now if I want to play psvr games, I have to reinstall psvr separately which is lot of work.
This is my biggest complaint as well. My son is autistic and really misses his demo disc and cat and mouse game. Wish they ported them over. Kind of silly that they didn't
and they are expecting momma friendly btw you are glowing :)
Basically Ive found this, if its your first headset you will LOVE it. If not you will most likely feel a tad meh. Its just not the generational leap I expected personally. The mura being my biggest issue. At this point with the hardware available, I at least expected great clarity and a big sweet spot. My other and probably BIGGEST issue are games. Again newcomers see the list of games and think WOW! BUT people who have been around a bit, can clearly see its pretty meager as far as ACTUAL psvr2 made games. If it wasn't for gt7 and re village to me it would be dead on arrival.
I just hope i dont have to wait more than 2 years for triple AAA games to come out for vr2
Nice video, but please add chapters!
1. Mura and screren door effect have nothing with funnel lenses
2. Suggesting new incomers to VR game with no teleportation is not good idea
3. Eye tracking work flawlessly with glases. Nobody compain so far. Did she make it up? Aaa, now I understand. The advertisement made it clear.
I appreciate your honesty. A lot of youtubers are blowing smoke up everyone ass because they're afraid to say anything negative about the psvr 2 in fear of losing Sony subs. Honesty is the best policy.
$500 is still a decent amount of money to spend on VR , and PSVR2 may not be for everyone! You deserve to know both advantages and shortcomings of this headset 🙌 Thanks for supporting!
I paid $635 for my PSVR2 bundle and I have nothing but positive things to say about it especially since that last update that took care of any slight blurs and boosted image quality immensely....I don't see any other VR systems out there bringing the immersion and 4K images that the PSVR2 brings
@@mrreefer6792 psvr 2 is 2k per eye lol fake 4k. You're not looking hard enough. There's the pimax 5k..pimax 8k...pimax crystal..pimax 12k...varjo aero..varjo xr elite.. htc xr elite..and soon the deckard. Psvr 2 hmd isn't even comparable or not even close in the range to those higher end headsets. And half of those have an untethered mode.
@@Vr_Demon_ Do you even have PSVR2? 😆😆 it's 4k for agrument sake 2k+2k in each eye =4K you're arguing semantics and for the cheap price of $600 you get more than you pay for
@@mrreefer6792 so if I put two 2k monitors side by side..I'm watching a movie in 4k?🤣🤣🤣🤦♂️
I do like prås and kåns
5:29 - no? That feature is a total scam.
I ownED PSVR2, refunded it.
The Foveated rendering is bulls*it in PS VR2. It's not based on where you look with your eyes, but rather focused on your headset look-at angle. I was sure, it was based on my eyes movement (hence why there's eye tracking, right?).
I noticed that, when I was playing GT7, I was looking forward (with my headset & eyes) and I looked (with my eyes, not the entire headset) into the side-mirror to check what's behind me. It was blurry. I had to turn my entire head to the side, to render the game. At that point, I knew I was scammed.
Either way, it wasn't the only reason why I refunded PSVR2. I played the entire RE: Village on it, and it was great experience, absolutely. But there were issues with (right) controller. I had to hard-reset it a few times (with needle), because my hand was going out to the space. Another reason was me not wanting to have VR device stuck to the console lifespan. When PS6 comes out, my PS5 will die with its expensive VR headset, while on PC, it will be used "forever".. Unless.... Sony goes crazy and releases drivers for PC for PSVR2, I'll be surprised then. Another part, was really small sweet-spot for setting your headset on your head to see the screen correctly. Let me go even further... my glasses scratched the OLED screens.. so you have to buy (or 3D print yourself) a little plastic distances to put inside your headset or buy custom-made glasses to put inside your headset.
There are many things so cool about PSVR2, but cons I described from my experience and thoughts of the future made me refund it. So I'm waiting for my 1st PCVR experience now.
Also, for the love of God... please, start making those knuckle-straps like Valve Index did it. It's so much better to have that instead of those wrist-wraps, I wanna let go of my controllers from time to time while playing.
Cheers!
why is there no real info on the vertical field of view on this headset? sony just states diagonal and some people claim horizontal is aroudn 110, but nothing on vertcial. i dont get why everyone says its comfortable. after 30 min, i had pressure points all around my face, most of them, from the gasket. solution is: set it back, with the downside of having less fov. thats not comfort for me, its a tradeoff. get less experience but on the other hand, dont have pressure points. and wait, fresnel lenses leading to screendoor effect? the SDE comes from the display, not the lenses. take the quest 2 and 3 for example: 2 uses fresnel and lower res, 3 uses pancake, way clearer but higher res, but you can see the SDE way more then on the 2, because the slighty unsharpness due to fresnel hides the effect behind a blur. and yes, iam very sensetive to this and i can ruin my experience, because seeing pixels or the gap between them, is a telling neon sign that my brain auto translates into "its just a game". on haptics. i never understood why people want, like and need vibration and haptics. my hands feel it, but my brain doesnt add it to the experience. my controllers haptic motor could break during gameplay and i would never notice it. my friend brought over his psvr2 after 2 hours of playing, he asked me how i feel about the headset haptic itself and i was like "it has feedback? didnt notice" and when it comes to cables.. people need to be self aware, what they want. if you want wireless, you need to live with compression and artefacts and thus a worse visual experience. best thing is to have both options but thats rare on headsets.
Sony seems like doing just like Meta is doing by only rely on low budget indie game developers. Im just gonna focus with Praydog's Universal Unreal Engine vr injector. It should last me lifetime. I wish i didn't buy psvr 2 with ps5 console.
Sell them both and get a 4090. You're gonna need that extra power with a ue5 injector. Bought mine specifically for the injector. I was playing all re mods with a rtx 2080 super. Then upgraded to a 4090 and what a night and day difference. I've seen several youtubers bashing the mods saying they're jittery and janky but using a low end gpu..blaming the mod and not their low end pc. Smart man..stick with the injector if you want AAA. The numbers sold on psvr 2 don't even have AAA devs looking in that direction. They're gonna need to sell a few million before they'll even suggest bringing their game to psvr 2.
@@Vr_Demon_ i already got 4090 few months ago and still waiting for Pimax Crystal. Im only gonna focus with UE 4 games and maybe UE5 games when i get
5090. i really need to rid of psvr 2 and ps5(what a waste of money)
@@ji3200 i agree. I had a psvr 1 and its a no for the psvr 2 for me. Also waiting for pimax 12k..crystal..or Deckard. Definitely gonna grab 1 of the 3. You have full body haptics also? I would just sell psvr 2 and get the full bhaptics set up..but you probably already have that also. Definitely worth having if you dont.
@@Vr_Demon_ i got the newer Woojer Vest Edge 3. I didn't like haptic intensity of Bhaptic(way too weak). Woojer 3 has very strong punch haptic feedback and has 5 postional audio haptics so it really works well with audio effect.
@@ji3200 really? I have mine set at only at half. Full is too much for me with bhaptics
